iiuiuiiinwmmmmmmmmmmor any high-ups of the Catholicchurch to meet him on a public platform, why didn't they meet him?What reason can you give for that?Let's get the truth. Leroy Noyes,3839 Wentworth Av.EQUAL RIGHTS FOR ALLAbout a century and a half ago Protestants and Catholics rallying beneath the same standarls fought anddied that we of today might enjoy thefull rights of American citizens. Inthose days the cry went forth, "Notaxation without representation."Today in our great liberty-lovingcountry are found some denying toothers this very right of representation. The man who does not use ourpublic schools must have no voice inthe control of same, says C. A. Dewey in the issue of the 20th.Because a man rents a house itdoes not necessarily follow that hemust live in it. The privilege of thusspending his money and leaving thehouse unoccupied is his. Nevertheless, ie reserves the right to have avoice in the control and managementof tbe same. Just so with the Cath5c. He shares equally with his fellow citizens in the upkeep of the public schools. Has she not therefore aconstitutional right to have a voicein the control of them? He prefersto again pay to educate his childrenin private schools. As a free citizen can he not do this without forfeiting his right of representation inthe public system? As a public taxpayer his right to share in control ofpublic school matters must be safeguarded for him. Apparently to C.A. Dewey the words Public and Protestant are one and the same. It mustbe understood, however, that the former embraces all classes regardlessof creed. Funds used to maintainthe public schools are the fundsfrom all the people. Therefore allthe people have equal right to sharein them. Why then any distinctionbetween teachers as regards positions in the public schools? Be educated where she may, once provenphysically, menta'ly and morally fit,the teacher is qualified to take herplace in the great public school system.

She may haVe been yearsaero, but I know5, and can nrove. thatI last November she was not in goodstanding in said order. I do noti blame you, of course. You have beenmisinformed. She wears a Star pin,and I ask by what right?The Day Book in our opinion is thobest daily paper in Chicago. It certainly prints the truth, but not always all of it for instance, thoRothmann-Kennedy debate. Thefollowing day everything Kennedysaid was printed, but very little thatRothmann said could be found. I wasthere and know what was said; alsowhat was printed on the subject. Iam a Guardian of Liberty and amproud to belong to such an organization. Nearly every Guardian Iknow reads The Day Book, for weare after the truth and will supporta paper not afraid to give us thonews and all of it A Guardian.o oLaws of Argentina provide that afather must leave his children fourfifths of his fortune, and a husband,if he has no children, has to leavehalf of his property to his widow.An unmarried son is compelled toleave his parents two-thirds of his1 property.u. . .
